As the 2023-24 season came to a close, football fans worldwide witnessed one of Mohammed Kudus’ finest goals of the season.
Max Online presents the top five Ghanaian players in the English Premier League:
5. Thomas Partey (3/10), Arsenal: The Black Stars’ deputy captain had a terrible season, particularly in the English top division, where his team came agonizingly close to winning the title before losing by two points.
Partey, 30, had been nursing injuries for the majority of the season, losing his place on the field to Jorginho, and even had to play out of position at right-back at the start of the season.
He is thought to be in his final season, as his role on the team decreased over the season.
14 appearances, 0 goals, 0 assists
4. Jeffery Schlupp (5/10), Crystal Palace: Since joining the club in the winter transfer window of 2017, the versatile Ghanaian player has been a reliable servant for the Eagles.
The one-time Premier League winner enjoyed 1,610 minutes in the just-ended 2023–24 season, scoring and assisting twice.
29 matches, 2 goals, 2 assists, 44 (23 won) aerial duels, 66 recoveries, and 82 duels won.
3. Jordan Ayew (6/10), Crystal Palace: Despite appearing in 35 games this season, the Black Stars striker only scored four goals but contributed eight assists.
Out of his 36 shots, only 20 were on target during his 2,674 minutes on the field of play.
35 matches, 4 goals, 8 assists, 18 chances created, 101 fouls won.
2. Antoine Semenyo (7/10), Bournemouth: Since signing from Bristol City in the EFL Championship in January 2023, the Ghanian international has been improving, scoring eight times in the 2023–24 season after managing just a single goal in his debut season.
33 matches, 8 goals, 2 assists, 6 big chances created, and 29/48 shots on target.
1. Mohammed Kudus (9/10), West Ham United: It is safe to say Kudus has been one of the best African stars in the Premier League, considering this season is his debut after his big summer move from Ajax.
33 matches, 8 goals, 6 assists and 2,483 minutes played.
